21.  Directions: The passage below is followed by a number of questions. Read the (1 point)
passage and for each question, choose the best answer, and mark your Answer
Sheet accordingly. All of your answers should be based on what is stated or
implied in the passage. (Question No. 21-25)

When drawing human figures, children often make the head too large for the rest
of the body. A recent study offers some insights into this common disproportion in
children's illustrations. As part of the study, researchers asked children between 4
and 7 years old to make several drawings of men. When they drew front views of
male figures, the size of the heads was markedly enlarged. However, when the
children drew rear views of men, the size of the heads was not so exaggerated. The
researchers suggest that children draw bigger heads when they know they must
leave room for facial details. Therefore, the odd head size in children's illustrations
is a form of planning ahead and not an indication of a poor sense of scale.

The main subject of the passage is ---

      ⚫ what the results of an experiment revealed
      ⚪ how children learn to draw
      ⚪ how researchers can gather data from works of art
      ⚪ what can be done to correct poor sense of scale

      ⚪ Children must gradually move from drawing objects to drawing human figures.
